Literal or Metaphorical?
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. (Psalm 115:3)
The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. (Psalm 135:6)
From the above statements it seems pretty clear God
has power over all things, and does what he pleases. however the question is,
should one take those statement as literal or metaphoric? you may wonder why
would someone take this as metaphoric statement rather than literal, after all
God is all powerful. Well, the simple answer is, if the God of the Bible is so
powerful and does whatever he wants, then why couldn't he abolish the original
sin rather than making an innocent man suffer for a sin which has nothing
to do with him? Does that even make sense. Now many Christians would say no!
the PROPHERCY had to be fulfilled and the sinless had to suffer for all of
us. Well then, that nullifies the above statement that God does whatever
he wants, it's clear God of the Bible was unable to clear Adams sins when it
happened. God has restrictions and was not able to forgive the original
sin without making someone else suffer.
Ask any Christian was God able to forgive Adam and Eve's sins without a blood sacrifice and watch how they stutter to answer you back. It's a simple question which deserves a yes or no. IF THE GOD OF THE BIBLE WAS UNABLE TO FORGIVE A MISTAKE MADE BY ADAM, HOW COULD HE DO WHAT HE WANTS?
